Sometimes the easy choice is the best choice

The NBA season was among the victims of corona shutdown and the season was put on hold after some 63-67 games out of 82. The regular season to this point had not seen too many surprises: Los Angeles Lakers with LeBron James in charge were leading the Western Conference, chased by their local rivals Clippers. The Western conference offensive juggernauts Houston Rockets have struggled defensively, falling to 5^th place and were bested by 3^rd Denver Nuggets and 4^th Utah Jazz. In the East it was supposed to be Bucks and 76ers. Challenged by reigning champions Toronto Raptors – now without Kawhi Leonard – and somewhat weakened Boston Celtics. And what do you know, Bucks are leading the East, followed by Toronto and Boston. Miami Heat had leapfrogged Philly on the fourth spot, which might have been the biggest surprise so far in the season. If you take a look back at some of the NBA picks the experts made in the preseason, most of them still hold true now.

With the season in question, there’s been several ideas bounced around on how to get the season done and dusted. One of those ideas would be to finish the games in a neutral venue in a shorter time period and more compact schedule. But which team would be the best bet to win it all if the season is to finish on a neutral ground.

First of all, the home court advantage is huge in the NBA. In the west, top 10 teams and in the east top 9 teams are all above .500 at home. Respectively only seven teams in the west and only four teams in the east have posted a winning record on the road. Playing constantly on a neutral court is likely to cancel the home court advantage, but it might not exactly be considered as a road game either. With no home court advantage, it will be interesting to see which way the NBA public betting sides with in these games. One of the easiest ways to beat the sportsbook is to take them off on their sportsbook bonus offers for free money and bet on the team with home court advantage.

The odds currently on offer to win the NBA 2019-2020 finals have set Los Angeles Lakers and Milwaukee Bucks as the most likely winners with +250. Challengers in the west include Clippers at +330 and – with quite some distance – Rockets at +1300. Putting up some threat are Denver Nuggets and Utah Jazz with +3000. In the east, Toronto, Boston and surprise team Miami share the challengers’ burden with odds of +2000. Brooklyn Nets and Oklahoma City Thunder are long-shots with +6600 and +8000.

While Bucks and Lakers are certainly the hands down favorites, both teams are also excellent on the road. Lakers have actually won more games on the road than at home, 0.813 to 0.742, making them by far the best away team in the NBA. Bucks are then the second best, with 0.735 to 0.903. Safe to say, with these NBA odds, Lakers with their experienced lineup and superstars James and Anthony Davies, alongside with Kyle Kuzma, Danny Green, Kentavious Caldwell-Pope, Avery Bradley and others, would be the best, if easy and obvious, bet to take the championship under the exceptional circumstances.

What is Accuscore?

Accuscore provides predictive analytics on sports, based on the company’s own algorithmic simulation engine which has been under constant development for almost two decades. Sports predictions are an outcome of simulations in which individual games are simulated for thousands of times in order to arrive to the most likely results. These results are then used to create analytical predictions, content and advice for bettors, pundits or any stakeholders in the industry or media field. For the individual US users, Accuscore’s predictions can be accessed through subscription to BetQL.

The Accuscore simulation engine uses the relevant historical data of the players, teams and leagues to predict the outcomes of the games before they have started. The simulation results are based on the individual player performances and weighted according to the teams’ form, opponent and other circumstances that have been proven relevant to the outcome of the match. We have managed to filter out the unnecessary data-points by determining which are important and which are not – this has taken several hundreds of thousands of simulations, cross-references and comparisons of simulation results to actual outcomes.

Accuscore aims to provide independent, unbiased and objective sports predictions for all the customers. We strive to be transparent and all our simulations results are available in the archives. Throughout the years Accuscore has worked with several betting companies, for example Pinnacle and Coolbet, media houses such as Telia and Sporing News, sports teams and leagues, and of course individuals through our subscription service.

Our capabilities include tailoring the sports predictions service to any B2B need with different licensing models, revenue sharing programs or affiliate markets. We can package content based on the simulations in several different ways, which can include automated widgets, unique articles, videos or pure numbers from a feed – whatever suits your needs!

How to use Accuscore sports predictions?

Accuscore’s simulations provide various advantages for both businesses and individuals. The simulations are based on a sovereign algorithmic system and all the simulations are always ran the exact same way. The only variables are the data inputs which the simulation engine then uses to create the sports predictions according to the algorithmic model. The model has a proven track record and for example the NFL picks have provided constant profit over the years.

The simulations provide probabilities for the outcomes of the games which include – depending of the sport – for example the most likely final result, the amount of goals or points and player performances. These sport predictions can be compared to odds in order to make a more educated betting decision or they can be used to support, oppose or adjust ones view on the betting market.

For businesses the sports predictions provide an opportunity to use original content in various forms which can be modified to suit any need, for example: providing more information to customers, attracting traffic or users, as unique content to publish or for other marketing purposes such as short videos for social media. We are happy to tailor our service for each B2B customer.
